Question 5126
What does the green arrow on the lane traffic signal indicate?
- That the lane is open and gives you the right-of-way over other vehicles.
- That the lane is open, but you must obey the signs and right-of-way rules.
- That the lane is open, except for heavy vehicles.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That the lane is open, but you must obey the signs and right-of-way rules.
The downward-pointing green arrow allows you to drive in that lane, but it does not give you the right-of-way. If there is a circular red light, a stop sign or a yield sign farther ahead, you must obey it, and where there are no signs or signals, you must follow the general right-of-way rules.
